I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee
I'm going to lou'siana my true love for to see
It rained all night the day
I left the weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death
Susanna don't you cry
Oh Susanna oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
I had a dream the other night
When everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna a coming down the hill
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth
A tear was in her eye
Says I I'm coming from the south
Susanna don't you cry
Oh Susanna oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
Oh Susanna oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With my banjo on my knee
